I often talk about ‘not playing recipe favourites’ and then proceed to do the opposite in these introductions. This is generally because I have nothing original to say and I’m writing the post on a time crunch. That said, I would never lie about my favourites and this post is no exception. Because today, we’re…

Three ingredient mini cheesecake (lactose free, FODMAP friendly)
This three ingredient mini cheesecake came about by accident. I was attempting to make cream cheese danishes when I realised that I had an excessive amount of cream cheese filling. Not keen to waste some perfectly good cream cheese, I threw it in the oven, Basque cheesecake style. The result? An adorable, delicious cheesecake for…
Read MoreGluten-free hot cross buns (vegan, gum free, starch free, nut free)
I am so excited to share this recipe for gluten-free hot cross buns with you! A good gluten free HCB has vexed me for as long as I’ve been working with alternative flours and spending too much time on the ‘gram. Although I shared a sourdough hot cross bun last year, I had to pack…
Read MoreGluten free sourdough pancakes (FODMAP friendly)
As far as I’m concerned, all bets are off during this stay at home period. What I mean by all bets are off, naturally, is that I plan to eat a lot of pancakes for dinner. Preferably, gluten free sourdough pancakes. Gluten free sourdough pancakes have a twofold benefit. Firstly, pancakes. Everybody likes pancakes! Secondly,…
Read MoreVegan gluten-free blueberry muffins (nut free, xanthan gum free, one flour)
When I published the recipe for my gluten free blueberry muffins recently, I said I’d be back with more iterations.

For starters, these muffins are nut free which I…
Read MoreGluten free linzer cookies (no xanthan gum, no flour blends)
I’ve always admired the aesthetic of the Linzer cookie when I see them on Instagram. I do have a confession, though: I have never actually eaten one myself (until now, obviously.) Because I have had digestive issues for such a long time, there’s a lot of recipes I develop that I haven’t actually eaten before.…
Read MoreGluten free lemon drizzle cake (FODMAP friendly, nut free, no xanthan gum)
There are some sweets that every baker needs in their arsenal. Chocolate cake, brownies, a basic choc chip cookie. Today we’re talking about a cake I’ve only just discovered I needed; a gluten free lemon drizzle cake. This cake has been a real adventure! I assumed it would be a quick development process, but I…
Read MorePavlova with lactose free raspberry yolk curd and berries (waste free)
When it transpired that the tree on my balcony was full of cherries (and not ‘baby nectarine buds’ as I had believed) I knew pavlova was the order of the day. I’ve wanted to make a festive berry pavlova in time for Christmas for about 5 years in a row now. Turns out I’m as…
